I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

That night, Shen Ming sat in front of the Golden Peach Spirit Tree, holding the Palm Heaven Bottle in his hand.

As the "Moon Spirit Technique" was activated, the bottle changed back to a bright green material, and one could vaguely see the spiritual liquid accumulating drop by drop.

Shen Ming stopped after feeling a sense of mental disorientation.

The emerald green palm-shaped bottle is almost translucent and filled with spiritual liquid.

He got up and walked in front of the spirit tree, hesitated for a moment, and then fell a third of it.

Last night's bottle brought the Golden Peach Spirit Tree back to life; another bottle today might deplete its life force.

Too much of a good thing is bad. Shen Ming didn't want to see the golden peaches ripen and rot into soil nutrients in less than a minute.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ming placed the Palm Heaven Bottle on the ground.

Rather than letting the moon spirit startle you in your cave, it's better to take the initiative.

They waited and waited, but the black cat never appeared.

Shen Ming put away the Heavenly Bottle and returned to his cave.

Upon reaching the entrance of the cave, Shen Ming remembered something and reached for his waist.

As expected, the Heavenly Bottle was nowhere to be found.

Then, he found the Heavenly Bottle on the stone table in the cave, which the Moon Spirit was licking contentedly.

Compared to the little bit of liquid left over from last night, there's still more than half left in the bottle today, and the Moon Spirit is very happy with it.

It retracted its front legs, lowered its body slightly, and then stretched its hind legs out forcefully, its tail swaying gently.

This time, the Moon Spirit did not leave. It jumped onto the stone bed and put its head on its paws to sleep.

"They really aren't being polite at all." Shen Ming laughed angrily.

That cat is something else; it won't take the food, it just has to sneak around and touch it.

Now I'm taking over his bed!

A quick glance around the cave revealed no return gift from the Moon Spirit.

Shen Ming lost his temper and went into the inner quiet room to meditate and restore his energy.

After it ended, the Moon Spirit was gone.

Shen Ming, preoccupied with the golden peaches, paid no attention and went out again to check on the peach trees.

As soon as I arrived near the Golden Peach Tree, I smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.

Shen Ming was overjoyed and quickened his pace, arriving just as the sun was rising.

As the first rays of sunlight fall on the tree, you can clearly see the round, plump golden peaches.

Its color is golden like the sunset, radiating a soft and charming glow.

Each golden peach is like a beautiful piece of jade.

Shen Ming was filled with excitement, experiencing the joy of reaping the rewards of hard work.

Although it only took two days in total.

The elixir is divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

True disciples can receive Yellow-grade Spirit Gathering Pills every month.

Each golden peach on the spirit tree is comparable to a top-grade elixir.

Moreover, it is a rare and precious natural product, not a refined elixir.

"Ten years of golden peach."

Shen Ming took a closer look and saw that the spirit tree had produced nine golden peaches, all of which were ten-year-old golden peaches.

If it's a century-old golden peach, then it would be a heavenly-grade elixir.

However, for the tree to bear golden peaches that last for centuries, it needs to undergo a transformation.

Shen Ming was not greedy; he picked the nine golden peaches and put them into his storage bag.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to his cave.

Outside the cave dwelling stood a stone sculpture of an ancient behemoth. Shen Ming turned it around so that the beast's head faced inward.

Among true disciples, this signifies seclusion and refusing visitors.

Shen Ming wanted to make a breakthrough to the second level of the Innate Realm in one go.

He has seven levels of spiritual barriers, and he still needs to open up the spiritual barriers of the eighth and ninth levels in turn.

After that, the nine gates within the body merged into one, forming a bridge that allowed them to enter the Divine Treasury Realm.

This process takes a full year on average for a true disciple, and even for a prodigy, it takes three to four months.

Shen Ming only gave himself half a month.

"Nine golden peaches. Others might have an absorption limit, but I have an innate holy body, a supreme Dao embryo, cultivate heaven-level techniques, and have a top-level cave. If I were to compare myself to ordinary people, I might as well find a block of tofu and smash my head against it."

After activating the restrictions on the meditation room, Shen Ming, filled with anticipation, took a bite of the golden peach.

In an instant, a surge of pure and powerful energy burst forth in his mouth, flowing down his throat like a raging torrent.

This energy quickly spread throughout his body, and wherever it went, his meridians were enveloped by a warm force.

He could feel a blazing flame burning in his dantian, and his originally calm Wuji True Qi began to surge wildly.

The abundant spiritual energy of the cave also converged on him like a vortex.

The eighth barrier didn't form naturally; in this state, the barrier simply shattered.

The entrance hall is like an eight-tiered palace!

The domineering way of breaking through the realm overwhelmed his meridians, causing his whole body to ache.

As a result, the golden peach took effect, and all the damage to the body was repaired in an instant.

"This is something that elixirs simply cannot compare to."

As Shen Ming pondered this, he ate the second golden peach.

The same process happened again, and the body underwent tremendous changes.

The Limitless True Qi surged once again, and the ninth profound barrier was just one step away.

Shen Ming ate the third golden peach.

If other true disciples saw this scene, they would definitely beat their chests in despair.

If they had three golden peaches, they would definitely be very careful with their money, striving to maximize their effectiveness.

Shen Ming eating three in a row like that can only be described as outrageously extravagant!

The ninth barrier was breached without any doubt.

The next step to break through to a higher level requires painstaking effort and cannot be taken lightly.

Shen Ming was in no hurry to continue eating the golden peaches and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the "Limitless Divine Skill".

A Heaven-level cultivation technique is enough to support him in cultivating to the Supreme Realm.

The mental techniques differ between each major realm.

This cultivation method was fabricated by the Xuantian Sect, incorporating unrealistic yet beautiful ideas, to the point that it violated the basic logic of cultivation methods.

If it were anyone else, they would only get angry and then curse, "Who wrote this nonsense?"

Shen Ming's assessment was: "It's a little difficult."

Three days later, he experienced a roaring sound inside his body, as if the sky were falling and the earth was cracking.

Breakthrough to the second realm of the Innate Realm!

The nine mysterious passages connected instantly, like wide and flat roads unfolding before our eyes.

The primordial energy condenses into a bridge, leading to the divine essence within the human body.

The five organs are the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

There is no specific order; the First Divine Treasury differs for different cultivators.

Shen Ming felt his kidneys begin to heat up, as if a pair of wings were about to grow out.

After sitting in a closed environment for several days, Shen Ming could no longer contain his excitement and rushed out of the house, eager to frolic in the mountains and fields.

As a result, as soon as the cave door opened, Shen Ming found that there were quite a few people outside.

There were also flying boats in the sky, with disciples standing on them watching.

"Are they after the Golden Peach Spirit Tree?" Shen Ming thought subconsciously, but then realized that wasn't the case.

A fierce battle was taking place in an open area halfway up the mountain.

Several close disciples, whose identities were unknown, were besieging an inner disciple.

The sky was filled with onlookers, whispering gloating, and one could hear someone repeatedly mentioning the name 'Senior Brother Ji'.

Shen Ming's face was ashen.

He didn't know what was happening, but a group of people stormed into Ling Mountain and started fighting, causing sand and stones to fly and even cutting down a large number of trees.

This is his Free and Unfettered Peak! Not an abandoned sacred mountain!

Go outside and fight!

"stop!!!"
